| * AKILA - BURKE |
 Akila (top & bottom left) is our beautiful co-owned dual girl out of the Eleiko-Conley 2021 litter. As one of the few smooth coated Shilohs to come out of the Guardian program, Akila has outstanding structure and an amazing strong head.. She’s highly intelligent, motivated by treats, and so far, has never met a trick she couldn’t master. Athletic and agile, she enjoys agility-style exercises, gracefully leaping over tall horse jumps, weaving through obstacles, and following commands with precision. She loves off-leash adventures and regularly checks in; in winter, she goes skijoring across her 40-acre farm.
Burke (bottom right) is the handsome dark Black and Tan plush dual from Super Nova Shilohs out of the Zam-Floyd litter. As a second generation product from our our ISSA outcross program, he has bred back to our Shiloh type incredibly well while bringing with him the incredible genetic diversity that we had hoped for from this outcross that is very beneficial to our breed. Burke is a big solid boy with incredible bone and an outstanding head.
In combination with Akila, we are expecting both smooth and plush coats in dual colors with sweet, people oriented temperaments. Akila and Burke were bred on the 18th of January 2025. Ultrasound to confirm pregnancy will be Feb 19. If all goes as planned, puppies expected to arrive the 19th of March!!
 This litter will be whelped and raised with our trusted co-owners in Ontario under the mentorship and guidance of Guardian Kennels. All pups will be placed and guaranteed through Guardian Kennels.

| * FREYA - CATO |
Freya (top right) is a stunning white plush coated girl out of Guardian's 2022 Matsu/Trooper pairing. With impressive conformation, she is a big solid girl at 28 inches and 97 pounds. Freya is a ray of sunshine - full of love and always with a smile in her eyes.
She loves splashing through forest puddles and ocean waves, while never straying too far down the path without you. Her excellent temperament shines in her work as a therapy dog (in training), supporting people of all ages, especially youth. Freya adores people, greeting visitors with a song and guiding them to the couch for cuddles. Self assured with a low prey drive, her friends include ducks, cats, and alpacas.
Cato’s outstanding stature with his unique mask speaks for itself. He is a traffic stopper everywhere he goes. This big solid bomb-proof fellow spells out so many of the qualities that we try to achieve in our breeding program. He is a product of our collaboration with Timbaland Shilohs (Jovi-Timba 2022) and carries forward some of the old lines stemming from the origins of our breed. Cato brings to the table incredible confidence, OFA Good hips and heavy bone structure.
 We are looking forward to seeing all of these solid traits match up in the pups from this pairing. We are expecting plush coat puppies in various shades of dual with stable, happy temperaments and show stopping conformation. Breeding expected Feb 2025. This litter will be whelped and raised in Cobble Hill, BC (CANADA) by our trusted co-owners at Seachild Shilohs (www.SeachildShilohs.com ) All pups will be placed and guaranteed through Guardian Kennels

| * RIEKA - PROXIMO |
 Rieka (left) is our “blast from the past” girl from our Matsu-Chester 2023 litter. Her sire, “Chester” was out of our very first litter here at Guardian Kennels and represents old lines and some of the original (Artus) outcross blood that was used to build the Shiloh Shepherd breed.
Rieka has far exceeded our expectations and has grown into a big girl with a beautiful head and small correct ears with a wide solid body to go with it. Her temperament is exceptional as there seems to be nothing that phases her and she approaches everything with a joyous zest! She has yet to meet a person or animal that she doesn’t consider a friend. She currently trains in agility and in scent work, both of which she seems to really enjoy and excel at.
Proximo (bottom right) is a majestic, solid boy with that calm, stable personality that just oozes confidence. He loves to jog on the beach or just be out and about running errands or dining at a restaurant with his humans. He is not a ball or toy chaser but prefers the company of humans and other animals. He likes the squirrels in the park, and they like him and sit with him while they eat their walnuts.
 We are expecting all plush coated duals and sables from this pairing. Expected temperaments will range from more laid back to a few with a little bit more “get up and go”
This litter will be whelped and raised at Guardian Kennels (Brooks, Alberta) Breeding expected late March 2025

| NOTE: All of the pups from the above litters will be required to complete our health testing (24 hour holter, OFA or PennHip hip/elbow x-rays). Since I generally request that pets not be altered (neutered or spayed) prior to 18-24 months for the health of the dog, I may opt to collect semen for shipping or freezing on some of the males in order to further preserve these lines. Preference to breeding homes (or homes that are willing to leave a dog intact or whelp a co-owned litter) in order to move these genetics forward will be given priority. |
